“The Quran calls on us to mediate and extract universal values that would help Muslims in the West to harmonize the relationships between us and the rest of the society,” said Hajji, a Moroccan scholar.

He noted that the art of reciting the Quran is not new but has a history of 1,400 years.

The final session of the conference was devoted to the recitation of the Quran by 14 reciters including a woman, from different Muslims countries, residing in Europe. (T/RS5/RS1)
